Amber Alerts

Im going to assume that most people know what this is...

Just in case an Amber Alert is an Alert sent out throught the state/country when a child is kidnapped.

To sign up for text messages when an Amber Alert is in effect go to:
http://www.wirelessamberalerts.org »

You don't get charged for these text messages. This is a really good way that someone out there may just save a child.

Thanks for posting the link Shay.

For those of you who don't know, this is an opt IN service across many national carriers. You won't be sent the messages unless you sign your number up.

It is also good for the kidnapper of a child!! It is always good to know when the police are looking 4 you.

Ya but if anyone saw the child before that Amber Alert came out then they may be able to find the child quicker.

That's kinda funny, because I know you're not serious, but it's also not and I don't even have a kid. I had a guy at the golf tourney last weekend (105 degree hear) telling me that he was in a hurry because his 3 year old was waiting in the car and had been for the past three hours.

I was two seconds grom calling the cops
before he said he wasn't serious.

Ya it's serious, i don't have kids, and don't plan too. But any sicko who mistreats or kidnappes a helpless child should be given the death penalty!

If you ever get an idea in your head that involves harming a small child, do everyone a favor and off yourself right now!

Omg I would have flipped....then apologized when he said he was kidding.

I dont have kids, but I have kids around me that I treat like they are mine, I have helped raise them since they were born. If something were to happen to them I would hope something like this and good people would be able to help.

I had a horrible disgusting look on my face for the entire conversation. He was actually talking to our greeters, but I was standing there just listening from five feet away and my hand was literally on my phone.
